Chippa United coach Morgan Mammila told his players that he does not know how to "park the bus" following their loss to Mamelodi Sundowns.

The Chilli Boys extended their winless run to five matches in the DStv Premiership after the 2-1 defeat at the hands of the league leaders.

The Chippa tactician felt his side gave a good account of themselves and could done better for the two goals conceded.

"To be honest my boys came to play football and I told them, I don't know what is parking the bus and I'm not going to learn it now," Mammila told SuperSport after the game.

"We came here to play football and that's what we do. I thought we gave them two easy goals that they did not deserve, they did not work hard for those goals.

"And we should have scored one, where I don't know how many passes there in the box because we're a team that can pass. Yes and of course there were fouls that we were not getting them."

When asked if Ronaldo Maarman should have started the game, Mammila added, "No, the thing is we had to come and stop the Sundowns train first and once you stop the Sundowns train first, then you can start playing."

"Maarman is not a player who can come deeper and mark, we play players according to their strong points, we brought him in at the right time, he came in and did very well.

"And that's why sometimes substitutes or reserve players are the match winners and we nearly won the match today because of him."
